Sarah Beckett, MCPF

I graduated from college in 1995 with a degree in Fine Art and American History with no idea what to do next. My dad told me to get a job so I found a frame shop in Madison, WI hiring full time and willing to train. I quickly learned the business and moved up the career path as far as I could. I left for a new up and coming frame shop on the East Side. Before long I was co-owner and learning the business side of framing. In 2007 I moved to Milwaukee and started my own business, SB Framing Gallery, in the Historic Third Ward. I immediately joined the PPFA to continue my education and find like minded people. Eventually I was president of the Wisconsin chapter and also spent a term on the International Board of Directors. I enjoy learning new techniques in preservation framing as well as talking and hanging with my framing friends from around the world.
